January 2013

My January divider page for what I hope will be my 2013 Project Life. Since PL has “no rules” I’ve developed a plan for my first attempt. With the kids grown and gone, the "grands" to far away to see all the time, and since 5 days a week I put in almost a 12-hour day with work and commute I don't always have much subject matter. So I thought I would do monthly segments using a monthly title page with a facing pocket page that will include a piece or two of family history or a special person in the family. I’ll also include family birthdays/anniversaries or other special dates for the month. Then there will be a couple pages of the photos and journaling for the current month. I think I might be able to do this since I’m doing this book for me. Not for my kids or anyone else, but just for little ol’ me and it only needs to please me - LOL!! Sounds selfish? Well, most of the time I scrap with others in mind thinking someday I might put it in a book for so-and-so - and never complete a project. So this one’s for me!

I'm glad this one's for you, Sharon. That's what this hobby is all about for those of us empty nesters, I think. We can do it our own way! I hope working on the project gives you much pleasure. It sounds like you are a hard worker and deserve every bit of relaxation you can get from this hobby.
